Edie's Sinner

Tyson Ramsey, handsome, arrogant, and king of the campus for his football prowess, has earned the title of The Golden Ram. Though rude to student reporter, Edie Billodeaux, in an interview, she can't help but feel a tiny bit of attraction. However, only long-legged beauties ride on his motorcycle, not short brunettes like her. Still, Edie is shocked when rumors of his drug use turn out to be true. He is kicked off his college team leaving him with no future in the game. Determined not to see talent wasted, she hounds him into entering rehab. What she doesn't foresee is her father, a legendary quarterback, taking Ty under his wing to prepare him for the NFL Draft. So much closeness, so much temptation to become involved with a man determined to turn his life around.

Charm Offensive

In the aftermath of the Second World War, the French government cultivated images of sensual and sophisticated white French women in an attempt to reestablish its global image as a great nation. They promoted the beauty, sexual appeal, and general allure of French women, all while shrinking the boundaries of what was considered beautiful. Charm Offensive explores how this elevation of French femininity created problems on both sides of the equation: the pressure on French women to conform to an exacting physical standard was immense, while the inability of anyone else to access that standard resulted in a sense of failure. Drawing on cultural figures like Air France hostesses, tourism workers, and celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot, Charm Offensive offers an innovative understanding of a tumultuous time of decolonization.
